Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)

The ALCTS AS Acquisitions Managers & Vendors Interest Group invites panelists for a discussion on acquisitions functionality in next-generation integrated library systems.

This Interest Group will meet at the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim on Sunday, June 24, 2012 from 1:30 pm - 3:30pm in the HYATT-Grand Ballroom B.

The panel will include representatives of major ILS vendors who can address how new systems handle traditional acquisitions functions, such as print resource ordering, receiving, and invoicing; as well as newfunctionality related to electronic resource acquisition and maintenance, purchase-on-demand (ILL/ACQ), and digital resources.

The chairs invite librarian participants who have experience with next-generation systems, but also anyone with interest, curiosity and questions about the topic. What would you like to see addressed by next-generation systems? How can workflows be improved? What new workflows do you anticipate needing supported?

If you would be interested in sitting on this panel, please contact the co-chairs:
